Fantastic Experience
If you can afford to blow it out a little, Rocky's is a fantastic experience. We stayed 4 nights as part of our honeymoon in one of the ocean front rooms (we actually had the corner room which was huge and had great views from all windows!), and while it is expensive, we felt it was worth it for what you get. The staff is SO great, especially Rock and Banana, who anticipated every single need we could have. It's true that the water in front of Rocky's is not really great for swimming, too shallow and rocky, but you can just swim in the pools, they are great! Prices for beer and food are inflated of course, as it's a resort, but we spared no expense, ate and drank all day every day, and still didn't spend more than $100 per day for both of us. The included breakfast is the best we've had in SE Asia, what a treat every morning. If you have a special occasion to celebrate or just want a getaway and can afford Rocky's, do it! We could have stayed for weeks...
Note on Koh Samui--the island itself is full of resorts, traffic, thousands of tourists, not the greatest vibe as far as islands go, but if you are going to Rocky's you have no reason to leave the resort--the whole point is to stay AT the resort. It's a haven away from the rest of the crazy island. After your stay at Rocky's, head over to Koh Phangan, get a cheap bungalow, rent a motorbike, and explore Thai island life there!
